and Cultural Heritage:
an overview
Martina Pertoldi Smart Specialisation Platform JRC, European CommissionSmart Specialisation and Cultural Heritage: an engine for Innovation and Growth Roma, 25 November 2016
Research and innovation strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3) are
▪ integrated, place-based national/regional economic transformation agendas
▪ promoting investments in R&I as main factors for economic development in the light of Europe2020 objectives (smart, inclusive and sustainable growth)
▪ based on the concentration of resources on economic activities with high transformative potential for the regional economy
▪ through the engagement of Quadruple Helix actors in Entrepreneurial Discovery Process
▪ encouraging regions - and regional governments - to “particularise
themselves by generating and stimulating the growth of new exploration and research activities” (Foray, 2015).

Comprehensive guidance tools:
RIS3 Guide, Digital Agenda Toolbox, FAQs S3 Publication series:
contributing to conceptual and empirical developments of smart specialisation
Online interactive tools (e.g. Eye@RIS3)
S3 thematic Platforms on Energy, Agri-food and Industrial modernisation
Guidance - Analysis - Support S3P
created in 2011,
managed by the Joint Research Centre (European Commission)
Smart Specialisation Community
Wide membership: 170 regions, 18 Member States
Support the development and enhancement of European eco-systems for interregional collaboration based on areas of smart specialisation
Facilitate the exchange of experience, mutual learning and cooperation to achieve better matching of (private/public) innovation actors, in RIS3
Better align and integrate the EU framework for innovation and investment policies to regional development, using a value chain approach.

All form of innovation,
technological as well as practice-based and social innovation (from technology to humanities)
Smart Specialisation and CH: main challenges
Support for value chains,
rejuvenating traditional sectors through higher value-adding
activities, cross sectoral links, new market niches by co-invention
Policy delivery: concentration of financial and entrepreneurial resources for structural change
Product/process innovation as well as system innovation (the key role of the public sector)
Mobilisation of investments and synergies across different funding, departments and governance
levels (EU/national/regional/local)
